THE HEF IS A GREEDY, GREEDY MAN
13 Jul 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
The Hef “Hugh” Hefner, as we like to call him, has lured an equity company to bed, and together they plan on buying out all of Playboy Enterprises remaining company shares in a bid to make things a little more private. Apparently he’s not interested in selling his shares, or merging with other shareholders. But […]

LIFE AFTER THE WORLD CUP – THE CHICKEN AND THE POTHOLE
13 Jul 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
Doctors are calling the syndrome LAWC, or Life After World Cup. Symptoms include being productive at work, not watching SABC, and facing up to the fact that there are still crippling pot holes on most of Johannesburg’s roads. And on that note, this article makes for eleven-herbs-and-spices kind of reading, if you know what I […]

BEST HEADLINE OF 2010?
12 Jul 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Independent Newspapers [IOL, Cape Times etc] is known for its occasionally obtuse and ambiguous headlines. For example, when more boring news groups might report “TWO MEN ARRESTED IN DRUG BUST”, Independent would probably phrase it thus: “WITNESS FINGERS DRUG LORDS – TWO ARRESTED” Shockingly enough, what I’m about to show you did NOT, I repeat, […]

ACCIDENTAL PENIS
02 Jul 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
As we wrap up this eventful week with the news that Jackie Selebi has been shafted, there’s no better browsing than a bizarre but thoroughly humurous site, Accidental Penis. It’s not the “I was on steroids for five years as a professional woman body builder and ended up with an accidental penis” kind of accidental […]

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Rosebud, the marijuana lifestyle magazine. The guy in the photo is James Daly, the editor of this new print publication. What’s wrong with this picture? Well, I dunno about you, but that guy seems a little paranoid weary of the camera. But that’s to be expected, because the man is […]

Mahendra Raghunath is back at the SABC news room. After a lengthy employer-employee dispute that was sparked by a little alleged insider information trading by Raghunath to a few Sunday newspapers, the SABC has finally caved.

PARLOTONES ABANDON SOUTH AFRICA AND SUPPORT GERMANY
15 Jun 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 108 Comments
Product endorsements and commercialisation aside; aligning yourself with another nation and singing for their victory in a tournament which is being held on your home soil (a tournament in which your own country is competing), may well be the final straw for Parlotones fans. “Aligning” might be a bit tame. By the looks of their […]

Much like the hilarities found on Craiglist classifieds websites around the world, our very own online classifieds website, Gumtree, has been known to give us the odd corker from time to time.

We urge you not to send a barrage of Blue Bulls supporter images, as we are now fully aware that anything we can imagine, is possible, and has happened.

SAVE YOUR CHILD FROM A LIFE OF LAME
20 May 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Everyone knows how cut-throat childhood can be, right? The playground politics, the snide remarks, the vengeful love triangles, the grief-induced crayon-eating binges. Right? Well, maybe not me. Know why? Because when I was a kid, my parents made damn sure that their offspring would never, ever, have the label “loser” pasted on them. How did […]

Yeah, thanks for asking. Look, I’ll be honest, things are going pretty well.

You can read up on that here. Naturally the story was […]
